Tight end Demetrius Harris confident he can catch on with the Chiefs
Sean McGrath’s retirement probably means Demetrius Harris will land a spot on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster for the season opener Sept. 7 against Tennessee at Arrowhead Stadium.
Harris — a raw but intriguing 6-foot-7 prospect, who played basketball in college — might have beat out McGrath anyway.
Of course, removing McGrath from the equation simplifies the decision for head...

3 in the Kee: Which Chiefs are giving the club the most bang for their salary-cap buck?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The trouble with a bargain in the NFL is that it has such a limited shelf life. Rookies outplay their initial, slotted contracts and demand market value for services rendered. Stud veterans sniff around for the most guaranteed money and the most years; if you won't give it to them, they'll find someone else that will.
Or hold out trying.

Dwayne Bowe Starts Camp in Peak Physical Condition
Dwayne Bowe lost 12 pounds this offseason and said that he did it because he knows he is getting older and needs to be in better shape, and if he wants to last longer in the league he needs to be in peak physical condition.

Before his extension, Jamaal Charles’ annual average salary made him the 13th highest paid running back, falling between Ryan Mathews and Fred Jackson.
